Course Syllabus

Abstract

The discipline refers to the variable educational tracks offered to students of the curricula for bachelor's and master's degree at choice while mastering the optional course of English in accordance with the Concept of developing English-speaking communicative competence of students of Higher School of Economics — National Research University https://www.hse.ru/docs/381549301.html. The ESP course ‘English for Journalism and Media’ for second-year bachelor students explores the following topics: 'Society and Media’, ‘Digital Media’, ‘News Production’, ‘Three Ps: Pre-production, Production, Post-production’, 'Ethics and Laws in Media’. Apart from a strong focus on mastering relevant and most frequently used subject-specific vocabulary and key terminology through communication practice, the course provides an empirically based understanding of the discourse and language used in the target ESP variety by involving students in projects related to media production. The course also aims at developing four major sets of language skills — listening, reading, writing, and speaking through various tasks (both in standard and creative formats) based on the communicative approach to foreign language teaching. Moreover, the course also provides task-based activities such as projects, most of which simulate workplace assignments and help students to practice them prior to real working experience. The prerequisite level of English for students willing to take the course is B2 or higher (according to CEFR).
